Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. An apparatus, comprising: an array having a storage area; a register configured to store at least one bit; a buffer configured to store data; and a memory control circuit configured to control the storage area of the array to store the data stored in the buffer based on the at least one bit stored in the register in response to a flush command, the memory control circuit further configured to, responsive to a latency period for a read command or a write command, interrupt the flush command.

2

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one bit defines a partition of the array as the storage area.

3

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one bit indicates an offset for the storage area relative to a size of the array.

4

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one bit defines a partition of the array as the storage area by a size and/or offset of the storage area relative to an address of the storage area.

5

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the memory control circuit is further configured to receive a command among a plurality of commands, wherein the received command is a flush command, the plurality of commands include at least one other command, and wherein the memory control circuit is further configured to interrupt the flush command to prepare for the at least one other command.

6

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the array comprises non-volatile memory.

7

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the memory control circuit is further configured to access one of a random access memory and a read only memory.

8

8. An apparatus, comprising: an array; a register configured to store at least one bit; and a control circuit configured to: control a partition of the array to receive data and store the received data, control the partition of the array to store the received data responsive to a flush command, and responsive to a latency period for a read command or a write command, interrupt the flush command.

9

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising a buffer configured to store and provide the data to the partition of the array, wherein the partition of the array is defined based on the at least one bit stored in the register.

10

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the at least one bit defines the partition of the array as a storage area by a size and/or offset of the storage area relative to an address of the storage area.

11

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the array comprises non-volatile memory.

12

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the control circuit is further configured to access one of a random access memory and a read only memory.

13

13. A wireless device, comprising: a storage area; a register configured to store at least one bit; a buffer configured to store data; and a control circuit configured to control the storage area to receive and store the data based on the at least one bit and in response to a flush command, and further configured to interrupt the flush command responsive to a latency period for a read command or a write command.

14

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the buffer includes a plurality of cache lines configured to store the data to be provided to, and stored in, the storage area.

15

15. The wireless device of claim 13 , further comprising an array having the storage area, wherein the at least one bit indicates an offset for the storage area relative to a size of the array.

16

16. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the control circuit is further configured to access one of a random access memory and a read only memory.
